Android Community

Well, we're finally finished. Five winners chosen, five tablets sent out in the mail. Everyone here at SlashGear and over on Android Community would like to thank everyone who participated, everyone who has become more involved with SlashGear and Android Community as a result of the giveaway, and of course the providers of the prizes - our good friends at NVIDIA. For those of you that don't know, we started a contest back a few weeks ago where SlashGear had 2 XOOM tablets and our sister site Android Community had 3. Now we have none! The next phase of the project is just beginning.

There's a big fat XOOM contest going on - did you know? We've got a total of FIVE XOOM tablets to give away - 2 have been claimed, there's 2 left on Android Community, and we've still got just one! That means you've got THREE opportunities to win these crazy awesome Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets. They're packed with NVIDIA's Tegra 2 dual-core processors and they're just jumping out of the box to land on your laps. Love em!

Welcome back, Gadgeteers! Today we've got a brand new format for SlashGear for you all and we're super pumped about it! There's been a lot of action going on in the recent past and this right here is the place where you're gonna find out about it! Before we begin though, I must have you peek at both of our brand new startup Facebook groups - it's like we're starting fresh!

Next we've got a whole tiny stash today of exclusive and otherwise awesome contents for your consumption - mount up!

Welcome to the SlashGear Morning Wrap-Up with your host, Chris Burns! I think I'll take over the Daily Show someday. It'll be horrible! Before that happens, let's talk about everything that's happened before we woke up here in the West. Let us begin with a big fat review written by yours truly that was actually published last night, but perhaps beyond a lot of people's bedtimes: T-Mobile Nokia C7 Astound - it's the same as the rest of the world, but different. Then hit the advice books with Chris Davies as he admits: "for a gadget reviewer, I'm rubbish at advice."

The LG Optimus Pad is a very cool tablet and will eventually be making it to the US on the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile hasn't offered any details as yet, on when the tablet will hit stores in the US. Geeks in Japan now know exactly when they will be able to get their hands on the Optimus Pad, and it's soon.

College student Sahas Katta was able to beat his speeding ticket in traffic court using...drumroll please...his Android smartphone, and a handy app. Katta was pulled over and charged with going 40mph in a 25mph zone. But he wasn't going 40, only 26mph. His word against the officer's right? Not so much, since he was running My Tracks by Google in the background on his Motorola Droid phone.

At the "Dell Means Business" Press Conference, Dell announced the largest consumer product line they have ever launched, with 39 products in the works. The products include include laptops, tablets, desktops, and workstations. The interesting mention was the 10 inch Android Tablet and maybe a Windows 7 Tablet.
